V
THE KINGDOM OF GOD AS BOTH PRESENT
& FUTURE IN THE TEACHING OF JESUS

CADOUX, GUY, HUNTER, TAYLOR, FULLER
THE WORK OF C. H. DODD marked a new stage in the dis-
cussion of Kingdom of God in the teaching of Jesus; the discus-
sion had moved from 'thoroughgoing eschatology' to 'realized
eschatology', having left by the wayside 'the transformation of
apocalyptic', 'the denial of apocalyptic' and the various other
attempts to maintain the older views. Accepting Dodd's emphasis
upon the Kingdom as present in the teaching of Jesus the discussion
now turned upon the point as to whether or not this was the only
emphasis in that teaching, and it gradually became established that
it was not: the Kingdom of God is both present and future in the
teaching of Jesus.Since Dodd is a British scholar we are perhaps justified in re-
stricting ourselves in the first instance to the British discussion of this
point, and we shall concern ourselves first at this point with the
following six works:
C. J. Cadoux, The Historic Mission of Jesus, 1943 (= Mission)
H. A. Guy, The New Testament Doctrine of the Last Things, 1948
(= Doctrine)
A. M. Hunter, The Words and Works of Jesus, 1950 (= Words)
Vincent Taylor, The Gospel According to St Mark, 1952 (= St Mark)
The Life and Ministry of Jesus, 1954 (= Life)
R. H. Fuller, The Mission and Achievement of Jesus (= Mission)

Cadoux, Guy, Hunter and Taylor all follow C. H. Dodd in seeing
the Kingdom of God as present in the ministry of Jesus. 1 Fuller sees

1 Jesus is 'the person through whom the Kingdom became a reality among men'
( Cadoux, Mission, p. 269). In some aspects of the teaching of Jesus 'the Kingdom is
certainly thought of as a present reality' ( Guy, Doctrine, p. 44). 'In some decisive
sense the Reign of God has come in the person and work of Jesus' ( Hunter, Works,
P. 74). 'He ( Jesus) taught that the Kingdom was present in himself and his
ministry' ( Taylor, Life, p. 67).
